[Community] Re: Community Metrics

Hi all, Reaching out to the group to spark some discussions/ideas around outlining metrics we would like to track for measuring the growth, size, health and impact of the Operate First community. For example, some of the metrics that can help measure the size and growth of the community would include number of users, number of contributors, number of issues submitted over time, number of PRs merged over time etc. We have started listing out these potential metrics in this gdoc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/12JjCKzYzRBihR1cn6L0htp1yHQqZzKDEiQZCO... (as well as a markdown here <https://github.com/operate-first/community/blob/main/metrics/README.md>) and would love to have your feedback/suggestions around it. +Shrey Anand <shanand(a)redhat.com&gt; and I have also created an initial notebook <https://github.com/operate-first/community/blob/main/metrics/community_me... that explores some of the operate first GitHub community metrics that are being collected and stored by Augur <https://github.com/chaoss/augur>;, which we were able to set up with +Cali Dolfi <cdolfi(a)redhat.com&gt;&#39;s help. Augur is a software suite for collecting and measuring structured data about free and open-source software communities. It is developed and maintained by the CHAOSS community <https://chaoss.community/>;. The notebook <https://github.com/operate-first/community/blob/main/metrics/community_me... visualizes some of these metrics and as a next step we would like to include more metrics and visualize them in interactive dashboards using some of the existing operate first tooling such as Superset <https://www.operate-first.cloud/users/support/docs/trino_superset_user_gu...;, and have them be publicly available for others to view. It would be great to hear from others what they think are useful community metrics and if there's interest we can also set up some time for a working group to brainstorm ideas and have discussions around how we would like to gauge the Operate First community. You can also leave your suggestions/comments to this issue <https://github.com/operate-first/community/issues/22> and please feel free to add anyone else who might be interested to this thread! -- Thanks and Regards, Hema Veeradhi She/Her Software Engineer | AI COE - CTO OFFICE Red Hat | Boston <https://www.redhat.com/> hveeradh(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/>
